The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Three Great Divine Powers_1

Time slipped by; in the mountains, one loses track of the seasons.

「In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed in the Outer Realm!」

On this day, within the Jade Pool Dungeon, the sky suddenly manifested a strange phenomenon; clouds and rosy light took on bizarre and myriad forms.

A golden tree took root in the void, its leaves drifting down profusely as they withered;

Silver flowers brilliantly bloomed, beckoning bees and butterflies to vie in dance;

Rain and snow fell, each crystal fleck dazzling the eyes;

An ancient zither sang out, as if celestial beings were strumming immortal music;

Mountains and rivers stood solitary for millennia, watching the winds and clouds shift...

Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning; rivers, lakes, and seas; flowers, birds, fish, and insects; zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting; pavilions and towers—every scene and every object represented the pinnacle of a magic, presenting a truly magnificent spectacle!

Shen Mo, sitting still in the small courtyard, was rather unfazed by it all.

In recent days, he had triggered the Godlike phenomenon of magic mastery twice; this was the third time.

His martial arts and cultivation method, the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation, had been deduced and cultivated to the Epic realm, hence this peculiar phenomenon.

Fortunately, the Jade Pool Dungeon was an independent space, and usually, no one entered.

Even Elder Li, who tended to the spiritual medicines, only entered every two or three months to stay for a few days, avoiding the accelerated loss of his Lifespan, and would quickly depart.

When Shen Mo reached Perfection in his magic cultivation, he would also deliberately avoid Elder Li, ensuring he wouldn’t trigger any phenomena when the elder entered the Jade Pool Dungeon.

Therefore, the shocking achievement of triggering the Godlike phenomenon three times in a few short months had not attracted the attention of others.

If this news were to spread...

I’m afraid the entire cultivation world of Red Flame Country would be thrown into an uproar, attracting countless prying eyes with unknown intentions!

Accompanied by the celestial phenomenon, waves of mystical enlightenment also surged through Shen Mo’s mind.

[You have diligently cultivated magic, reaching the Godlike realm, touching the Dao through your techniques, and successfully comprehending the Innate Divine Ability (By the Stars).]

[Through continuous enlightenment, you have grasped the essence of the Heavenly Origin Technique, your understanding of the Heavenly Origin Technique has deepened, Heavenly Origin Technique experience +800.]

[Through continuous enlightenment, you have grasped the essence of the Sword Control Spirit Technique, your understanding of the Sword Control Spirit Technique has deepened, Sword Control Spirit Technique experience +1,200.]

[Through continuous enlightenment, you have grasped the essence of the Constellation Great Hand Seal, your understanding of the Constellation Great Hand Seal has deepened, Constellation Great Hand Seal experience +2,550.]

...

[Through continuous enlightenment, you have grasped the essence of the Three-Heads Six-Arms True Immortal Technique, your understanding of the Three-Heads Six-Arms True Immortal Technique has deepened, Three-Heads Six-Arms True Immortal Technique experience +1,000.]

Except for the Divine Soul Contemplation Scripture, which required basking in sunlight to contemplate the Scorching Sun Soul Phase.

All other magic and martial arts that had not yet been cultivated to the Epic realm showed improvement.

These were all supplementary benefits. However, what satisfied Shen Mo the most was the successful comprehension of the ’By the Stars’ Skill.

After careful contemplation, he had a clear understanding of this Skill.

”When casting magic or cultivation methods related to the Stars, they will be augmented by the power of the Big Dipper. The magic’s might will increase by a flat thirty percent!” Shen Mo murmured, joy welling up in his heart.

Even though it wasn’t the first time he had obtained a new Skill, each instance brought a refreshing sense of novelty.

It was like being Heaven’s favored child, unwrapping a precious gift meticulously chosen by an old father; no matter how many times, it never grew tiresome!

The star-related magic I cultivate, besides the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation, is the Constellation Great Hand Seal.

I am already highly proficient in these two magic arts, and they are incredibly formidable. With a further thirty percent increase in power on top of that... just how terrifying will they become?

Right. There’s also the All-Encompassing Sword Canon, which contains many sword styles created from observing the stars.

For example, the Starfall Sword Form can also benefit from this Skill’s augmentation!

Shen Mo mused inwardly, I can pick out the star-related sword styles from the canon and practice them diligently.

Also, if I encounter good cultivation methods and magic related to the Stars in the future, I can prioritize them.

Shen Mo was not in a hurry to test the effects of the ’By the Stars’ Skill. Instead, he focused his attention on the Destiny Panel.

[Destinied Lord: Shen Mo]

...

The Purple Mansion Heart Scripture, Thunderclap Rapid Step, and the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation—these three magic and martial arts had all been cultivated to Perfection.

This was Perfection in the context of the Destiny Panel, the Epic realm—not the cultivation world’s definition of the Perfection realm, which corresponded to ’Integration’ on the panel.

After triggering the Godlike phenomenon three times, Shen Mo had obtained the three Skills: Flawless, Control Wind, and By the Stars!

The Skill ’Flawless’ was obtained after achieving Perfection in the Purple Mansion Heart Scripture.

As the name suggested, his Dao Body became pure and immaculate, untainted by any defilement.

Besides repelling dust, its effect on cultivation was also remarkably significant. When breathing Spiritual Qi, it could automatically expel the impurities and Demonic Qi contained within.

Its efficacy was somewhat similar to the Seven Treasures Spirit Pill!

However, its ability to purify Spiritual Qi far surpassed such spirit elixirs.

The nature’s spiritual energy pervading heaven and earth is not entirely pure; it is mixed with boundless Turbid Qi and Demonic Qi.

For instance, the Demonic Qi from the Heavenly Demon Realm, upon entering this world, would spontaneously merge with the nature’s spiritual energy, becoming intermingled, assimilated, and integrated with it.

There were also various other kinds of turbid energies, such as Resentment Qi, miasmatic qi, and ghostly Qi—countless forms of impurities not needed by cultivators.

In a sense, the purest nature’s spiritual energy was the most accommodating and malleable form of primordial spiritual energy.

The process by which cultivators refined Spiritual Qi into their own Mana was one of discarding the dross and retaining the essence.

However, in this process, it was inevitable that various kinds of Turbid Qi would also be refined into their Ocean of Qi Dantian, becoming indistinguishable from their Mana and True Yuan.

The Skill ’Flawless’ served to eliminate these Turbid Qi to the greatest extent possible when Shen Mo cultivated.

Not only could it accelerate his cultivation, but it also made the Mana and True Yuan within his body more refined—exceptionally pure and unadulterated.

In the future, when cultivating other main cultivation methods, he would be able to convert his Purple Knack Mana into other unique True Yuan with ease and flexibility, unhindered by turbid impurities.

The Skill ’Control Wind’ was obtained after achieving Perfection in Thunderclap Rapid Step.

It allowed him to command the wind, to ride the wind!

Whether running on the ground, flying via artifact controlling, or gracefully moving through the air after advancing to the Spirit Sea Realm.

He could rely on this Skill to augment his escape speed, making his body as light as a willow catkin!
